Delicious Cinnamon Scrolls Recipe - Easy Nordic Bread

Ingredients

Servings:
20
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (warm)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

    Ensure the milk is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    Add flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

    Use a stand mixer with a dough hook for ease.
  3. Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

    The dough should be elastic and slightly tacky.
  4. Let It Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

    Keep in a warm place for best results.
  5. Prepare Filling

    Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread with softened butter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon mixture.

    Make sure to cover the entire surface.
  6. Roll and Cut

    Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.

    Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
  7. Second Rise

    Place the scrolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

    Preheat your oven while the dough rises.
  8. Bake

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

    Check for doneness by tapping the bottom; it should sound hollow.
